JACOB GABBARD S. 30451 BA-J/MLB aw
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you furnish further data in regard to Jacob Gabbart, a soldier of the Revolutionary War whose record you desire. You state that he was from Pennsylvania and later of Augusta County, Virginia, that he married one Barbara Olinger and had a daughter named Barbara who married one Jacob Palmer.
You are furnished herein the record of Jacob Gabbard, the only soldier of that name under any spelling found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. The data therein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 30451, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Jacob Gabbard was born in 1760 in Lincoln County, North Carolina; the names of his parents are not shown. He was the grandson of Michael Grindstaff who resided in Burke County, North Carolina, during the Revolutionary War.
While residing in Burke County, North Carolina, the soldier enlisted in June, 1780, served as private under Captains Clark, Bickerstaff, Falls and "Fervard" (evidently meant for Brevard) and three months under Colonel Cleveland, in the North Carolina troops, engaged in pursuing the British and Tories in different counties of North Carolina, and while on the way between Salisbury and Camden, the soldier was in an engagement in which he was injured on a pine rail which penetrated his thigh; he was sent to the hospital at Camden, where he was confined between six and seven months and was discharged, having been in the service twenty months. After returning to his home in Burke County, North Carolina, and while serving in Captain Conley's company, he was transferred in the fall of 1782 to Captain Joseph McDowell's company, Colonel Warford's North Carolina regiment, and served six months engaged in guarding the frontiers against the Indians on the Catawba River.
After the Revolutionary War the soldier moved to Abingdon, Virginia; from there, to Kentucky, where he lived first in Lincoln County, and then in Clay County.

Jacob Gabbard was allowed pension on his application executed April 28, 1854, while a resident of Clay County, Kentucky.
In October, 1854, the soldier stated that he was expecting to move shortly to Rockcastle County, Kentucky. In 1855 he was living in Laurel County, Kentucky, and did not state how long he had lived there.
No reference was made in the claim to wife or children.
The brother of Jacob Gabbard served in the Revolutionary War, also; his name is not shown.
One Adam Gwinnett, a Dutchman of Burke County, North Carolina, was in the hospital at Camden at the same time Jacob Gabbard was confined there; said Adam died in the hospital at that time. It is not stated whether he was related to Michael Gwinnett, soldier's grandfather.

On this 7 th day of July 1834. personally appeared before me a justice of the peace for Laurel County State aforesaid, Jacob Gobban, who being sworn according to law, upon his oath made the following amendment to his original declaration for pension under the act of the 7 th June 1832, made before the Clay Circuit Court at the April Term 1834.
He states that he entered the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War, as stated in his subject to the following amendment to his original declaration, that his service was called State Troop service in stead of Light horse as stated thro' mistake in his original declaration. He further states that he entered the service in June the year before the battle of the Eutaw, and not the same year, as stated in his former declaration. When Wallace was taken his service

of 18 months was near out and when it was out, he was then still held as a guard at Leavenworth. Two months longer, and was discharged in the winter or spring after Wallace was taken. He states that including this 6 months time with McDowell he served not less than 26 months in the service Six months of which time he lay in the hospital in consequence of the wound received in his thigh as stated in his original declaration. He states that the reasons that this amendment is made in Laurel County, are these; He lives 25 miles from the County Seat of Celay & a desperate rough way, and he has no business or intercourse there that it is more convenient for him to do his business in Laurel and more over he is about to move from Celay and will still be more convenient to Laurel. As in his former declaration he hereby relinquishes

all claim to pension or annuity except the present & declares that his name is not on the roll of the agency of any state whatever. Sworn subscribed this day and year first as above John Gabbard me.

On this 15 th day of October 1834 before me James L Jones a Justice of the peace in and for the County aforesaid, personally appeared Jacob Gabbard who in order to amend his declaration for open- -tion under the act of June 1832 made the following declaration upon oath. He states that owing to old age and consequent loss of recollection he can not state pre- -cisely the length of his service or all the Circumstances connected therewith but to to the best of his recollection and understanding he entered the service for the term of 18 months in Burke Co. under Capt Clark in what was called the State Troop Service and he believes in the year 1780 it was however before the battles of the Etow Springs, but for that battle took place while

and he had been 19 months in service before he was taken there he lay sick at Camden, and he was discharged some time after the siege at York. but he can not recollect how long. but from the time he was called out by Bicker- staff as stated in his original dec- laration he served until he was discharged he served in the following manner the following length of time
For six months he served in actual service under Capt. Bickerstaff as a ranger, in the Counties of Burke, Surry Dinwiddie after the Tories.
For three months he served in the same kind of service under Capt  Col. Clearland ranging the Counties of Wilks, Surry & Stokes, after the Tories.
He was then placed under Capt. Hall and ordered to march to Camden to join Genl. Greene. and on the way they had a battle with the British & Tories when he was wounded as stated in orig- inal declaration. He was then taken on to Camden. he thinks they were about two weeks on the road, he was

placed in the Hospital when there was as he supposed there was not less than 30 persons wounded sick one of his acquaintance  with half hundred Several of their names he yet recollects (to wit) William Smith from Burke & Co. Lawrence Muriel, Depe Perkins, both of Burke, Thomas Bullin, & Jonathan Heckman, from Willy, Co. N.Y. & William Ward from Willy, & Adam Grindstaff a dutchman from Burke who lay there along time was there when I went & died before I left there, they were attended by a doctor called the Dutch Doctor, He can not say how long precisely he stayed in the Hospital. He was there when was Wallace was taken unable to march. He staid in his last Dec r . it was not less than six months not wish- ing to be over the time, but upon reflection & calculation he knows it was longer for he was there some time before the Battle of the Eutaws and was there some time after Wallace was taken. He knows that from the time was placed under Hall until he was discharged was not less than 11 months,

but how much of this time he was sick he can not say with certainty but he believes not up than seven months he was then held to service to fill up, as he understood his first engage- ment under Capt. Clarke for 18 months and after this was up he was still kept out the time he was sick & he served at least 4 months heed as a guard two months longer and was discharged either in the latter part of the winter or in the spring after Wallace was taken. After he returned home and in the same year he was drafted out, Capt. Conleys company and went out under Capt J. M c Daniel and was stationed at Colo. Warfords at a place called place out Guardian, when he served out his time months as a guard to the frontier and scouting after the Indians, while he was there the Indians killed three of Colo. Warfords negroes, burning down Mill, so that in the upon the whole he was sick & in service not up than 26 months

Upon his oath made the following amendment to his original and amended declarations for opinion, now on file in the War department, for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of the act of Congress of the 7 th June 1832. He states that the reason he did not mention the Battle at Kings Mountain and the Battle at Cowpens, was not because he knew nothing about them but because he did not then think it necessary to speak of Battles, that

he was not in. His memory is at this time bad he being frail, but he recollects those Battles distinctly they were both in the year that he entered the service, that at Camden first and book while he was in the ranging service under Capt. Bicker- staff as set forth in his original declaration about this time the Tories were plenty and dangerous in up under the Mountain where he lived He also recollects the battle at Kings Mountain that also took place while he was engaged under Bickerstaff . and when he was after and under Col. Cleveland at King Mountain a while he heard him talk about the battle and speak of the death of Ferguson. Cleveland lived on upon the Adkins River in Wilks County N.C. He also knew Col. Campbell of W.C. who was in that Battle, and he knew Col. Shelby likewise.

He was also acquainted with Genl. Sumpter of S.C. he had but one eye. As he returned home from Camden he passed the Battle ground at Kings Mountain and saw the bones of the slain. He also passed the battle ground of Eutaw Springs.
He also makes the following ex- -planation in relation to his service under Capt. McDowell in the year 1782. He states that he was dropped out of Capt. Lowry's Matilda Company for 3 months and when that was out he took the place of a man by the name of John Harris who had been dropped for 3 months and sent on before. Applicant was discharged. He He served out that three months which made the time spoken of in his orig- -inal declaration. It all being one kind of service and at the same place and under the same Capt. he did not think to divide it when he

made his first declaration. leapt McDowne time on the Catawba river about 10 miles from where we were stationed the most of our time. the balance of the time we were stationed at the Catawba Station so called, on the river.

He states that he is not recovering from any illness of sickness and owing to the effect of some disease and old age his recollection is now bad, and in addition to that he can neither read nor write nor never could but his statements heretofore made & now on file in the War department are true and his services in the war were not less than therein set out (about two years two months. He supposes it unnecessary to recapitulate

his services. He says in refutation to his services after the Indians, line upon the under Joseph H. D. Smith, the was performed in two tours of 3 months but being under the same Capt. & the services in the same country, is the reason why the tours were not at first distinctly stated. Thomas Hains was his Ensign the first tour, and ably spread the second tour, and he knew recollected that one William Beatty was his left the first tour. the which tour he served in the place of one Depe Perkins who was drafted out of Capt. Conleys Co. the following are some of the persons with whom he served the first tour or above. Wm. Smith, John & Ben. Spence Beverly Colton, & Jacob Smiggy. Thomas Ballou then were his neigh- bours & his associates during the first tour. The last tour, Lawrence & Peter Starwick, Moses Merrill & Loonwood Wm Wixler & Jo.

Sir,
The papers in the case of Jacob Sabbard have been again examined, and they are herewith returned. The statement of his services is still unsatisfactory. The events detailed in his original declaration at the time he entered the service, took place in 1787. He is therefore in an error in stating that he entered the service the year before the battle of the Eutaw Springs. He is also in an error as to his statement of his having belonged to the * Virginia State Troops. The sides proposed were as a volunteer Mounted Man. His claim for two years service cannot be allowed. The declaration should be amended, and the actual service set forth in each tour, more fully than he has done. His alleged services should be made to come more within the range of probability, in order to a favorable decision.
I am Respectfully Your obedt Servant J L Edwards

You stating that the events detailed by Applicant at the time he entered the service, and that the Old man was in an error, caused me to turn my attention to the History of the Revolution, and I find that and that Green marched for Camden S.C. in the Spring 81. Just about the time Applicant states he was ordered to march to that place after having served 9 months, which throws his entering back to June 80. as he states - Ramsay's History of the Revolution 2 d V. page 412.

Gally, having previously served 9 months, which throws his entering back in 80. about time as he States. I think his Statement corroborated by the Historical Account.
